It examines the difficulties faced bymodern-day philosophers and scientists who employ \"discursive\" thinking to explainthe mystery of human existence. \"Discursive\" thinking, which accounts for theinherent limitations of rationalism and scientific presumptions, is viewed byScaligero as a form of mental disorder, widely prevalent in today's culture. Indeed, he shows how members of the scientific community and academia--unaware of theeffect of thinking's adherence to bodily forces--are often themselves inadvertentdiffusers of the mental disorder that they seek to analyze in their research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the first half of the book, \"The Myth ofScience,\" Scaligero discusses numerous topics, including ways in which the worksof Freud and Jung have led to the elimination of the \"sacred\" through the \"sacralization\"of the unconscious.\u003c\/p\u003eIn the second half ofthe book, \" The Path ofThinking,\" the author contends that, to remedy problems of modern thinking, wemust cultivate the perception ofthe \"being\" of thinking--a perception that has eluded many thinkers, fromHegel to Krishnamurti, who were unable to liberate their thinking effectively from\"discursiveness.\" Massimo Scaligeroinsists that a \"science of thinking\" must be engendered within humanity--thinkingthat transcends the limits of conceptual elaboration--a science enlivened continuouslyby the living being from which it arises. In helping us toward this end, Scaligero elucidates a path based on \"the techniques of concentration,\" ultimatelynecessary to the realization of the \"I AM.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBisbocci, Eric L.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eEric Bisbocci\u003c\/b\u003e has traveled to more than eighty countries in his life, experiencing their cultures and spiritual manifestations.
